Shenxianju, Zhejiang Travel Guide: The Right Way to Encounter a Wonderland --- 📍 Scenic Spot Overview **Shenxianju** (National 5A Scenic Spot) is located in Xianju County, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province. It is a rare volcanic rhyolite landform wonder in the south of the Yangtze River and is known as the "place where immortals live." Here, peaks rise one upon another, and the sea of clouds churns. It combines the steepness of Zhangjiajie and the elegance of Huangshan. It is also the filming location for TV series such as *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils* and *Nirvana in Fire*. --- 🌟 Must-See Scenic Spots 1. ✅ High-Altitude Plank Road - The approximately 5 km long suspended plank road is built around the cliffs. Beneath your feet is a bottomless abyss, and before your eyes are grotesque peaks and rocks, as if you are walking in the clouds. - **Recommended spots**: Guanyin Peak Viewing Platform (popular photo spot), Feiying Path (shaped like a soaring eagle). 2. ✅ Ruyi Bridge - A newly added landmark! This glass bridge, shaped like a jade Ruyi, spans the canyon. The transparent bridge deck is thrilling, with intertwined light and shadows on sunny days and surrounded by clouds and mist like a fairyland on rainy days. 3. ✅ Waterfall Cluster - Eleven waterfalls, including Xiangbi Waterfall and Feitian Waterfall, are connected in a series. They are especially spectacular in summer when the water volume is high, and the negative oxygen ions are off the charts. 4. ✅ Natural Buddha Statues - The naturally formed pictographic landscapes on the mountain, such as "Guanyin Rock" and "Buddha," are truly marvelous works of nature. 🚶 Recommended Classic Routes **① Relaxed and Leisurely Version (4–5 hrs)** South Gate (cable car up) > Nanhai Cableway > Nantian Peak Glass Viewing Platform > Ruyi Bridge > Beihai Cableway (cable car down) > North Gate *Suitable for seniors, children, or those with average physical fitness.* **② In-Depth Hiking Version (6–7 hrs)** North Gate (hike up) > Wenxian Bridge > Jiangjun Rock > Feitian Waterfall > High-Altitude Plank Road > Nantian Peak > South Gate *Recommended for outdoor enthusiasts.
